The “Bassa Via del Garda” (BVG) is a unique long-distance hiking trail that stretches for more than 70 kilometers along the western shore of Lake Garda. From Salò to Limone sul Garda, the route winds its way through olive groves, mixed forests, historic villages, and spectacular views of the lake. The trail is at a medium altitude – mostly between 300 and 600 meters – and thus opens up new perspectives on the landscape, far away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the lakeside roads.
Hiking between nature, history, and panoramic views
The Bassa Via del Garda is more than just a hiking trail – it is a sensory introduction to the identity of Lake Garda. Along old mule tracks, narrow forest paths, and scenic ridges, you will encounter not only the Mediterranean vegetation and geological diversity of the region, but also traces of centuries-old settlements, chapels, and dry stone walls. The stages are designed so that they can be walked individually or in combination – ideal for day hikes or longer tours. The section around Gardone Riviera is particularly attractive, where nature experiences and cultural highlights such as the Vittoriale degli Italiani or the view from Monte Lavino are harmoniously combined.
